Summary
I step into the dark underworld, searching for him.
“Achilles” I speak softly, his name rolling off my tongue like honey. Longing ripped at my chest, reminding me just how long it had been since I had seen his face. My eyes scan around me, searching for him, his green eyes flecked with gold, his golden hair, for any part of him.
“Achilles” I shout, willing my voice to be louder. He’s here, I know it. I feel his presence, but cannot see his face.

Summary
The fire consumed an entire forest. Like a savage demon, it not only burned animals but also reduced humans to ashes amid their anguished screams.
Humans, the most foolish and ambitious creatures on this earth.
Why do they delight in placing the antlers of a dead deer upon a child's head? Why do they roast the body of a wretched mother?
In the silent night, they vanish without a trace. Left behind is a lonely heart, rotting away.

Summary
(A modern AU of the The Song of Achilles/ the Iliad)Patroclus lives in his own world…unseen, unheard, a shadow among the brilliant in a world of polished faces and applause. Then an unexpected scholarship meets him with Achilles, a torch made of secrets and lies. Their worlds move in a delicate dance between light and dark, too similar to twilight and dawn. Something breathes beneath the surface, unspoken, wild, unnameable. How long can a secret remain hidden in a place where everyone is watching you and every smile is a mask? (This is just an AU I have based on the Iliad with my own ideas and modern adaptions.)

Summary
Achilles is taken by the gods. As punishment for all the lives he himself has taken, the greek army must send a sacrifice of importance to release Achilles, otherwise they will not be able to leave Troy.
The gods have decided the war is done, the only way to change anything is to sacrifice someone so Achilles is returned and the Greeks will not leave with loss, but in a draw with Troy.
If only Achilles knew what exactly the gods were asking for.

Summary
"I want to make a sound, but my throat can only produce weak, whimpering noises like a beast. Father said I was like my mother, soft yet resolute, but always a disgrace. I have never seen Father look at Mother with loving eyes; he only gazed at her with lust. When Father learned that I was cursed by the gods, he beat me and took my tongue."
"I hate Father so much. But I can’t bring myself to wish he would disappear. I am still his child."
___
Patroclus, with tears streaming down his face, struggled to breathe as he held a pen and began to scribble messy lines. His heavily pregnant belly seemed to draw every gaze.
"Are you okay, my love?" Achilles gently asked from the other end of the line, his heart pounding so heavily it felt like it might fall out of his chest, every movement from the other side making him catch his breath.
___
With soft, feeble, and utterly peculiar humming sounds:
Sleep, my dear child.
For Mother, for Father, for this entire world.
Sleep deeply before nightmares come to steal you away.
Close your innocent eyes.
Open them when you are young and smile every day.

Summary
Achilles was beautiful, even in this, and the sight of him made pleasure pool low in my gut; warm embers. He was skilled at stoking those embers into a roaring flame that swallowed me whole, even without touching me, though it pleased him to do so.
Patroclus and Achilles fuck. That's it, that's the fic.

Summary
Neoptolemus, also known as Pyrrhus, after the death of his father, appeared with soldiers from his mother’s island of Skyros. He was seen as the next Aristos Achaion, a successor to his great father.
At twelve years old, the boy had the body of nearly a grown man, with fiery red hair. He was ruthless, cold, and resembled a wild beast, ready to tear apart anyone in his path.
Pyrrhus set his sights on Patroclus, his father’s lover, whom he despised for being the main reason behind his father’s death. He forced Patroclus to become his slave, both for ordinary servitude and to warm his bed.
Or.
In an ending where Achilles dies before Patroclus, leaving Patroclus’ soul engulfed in loneliness, things take a turn for the worse when Patroclus encounters Neoptolemus.

Summary
Patroclus spends his last vacation in boyish innocence before entering adulthood, taking control of a life that is slowly moving in the right direction. “This is going to be the best summer of our lives,” Achilles promises, looking at him one night. Patroclus interprets it the wrong way. But, after all, everything was heading in that direction, everything was fine, and he was finally going to get everything he wanted. That one lazy, boyish summer.
Nothing went according to plan. At least for Patroclus.

Summary
Tôi ấn ngón tay mình trên lớp vỏ vả, mật quả cứ thế ứa ra để lộ phần thịt thơm ngọt cùng hạt bên trong.
Achilles.
Bàn tay cậu điệu nghệ tung hứng những quả vả, cậu biến ngón nghề của phường chèo thành một thứ gì đó khác hẳn bình thường. Mắt tôi chăm chú dõi theo từng chuyển động của cậu, hoàn toàn bị cuốn vào cách cậu vẽ những vòng lặp trên không trung và chơi đùa với những quả vả, rồi chẳng rõ vì sao Achilles lại ném một quả về phía tôi. Khi thứ quả ấy đã nằm gọn trong lòng bàn tay mình, tôi vẫn chưa thôi được cơn chưng hửng khi nhìn cậu. Thật kì quái, vì từ giờ tôi sẽ luôn bất giác nhớ về cậu mỗi lúc mùa vả chín gần kề.

Will I Ever Be More Than I’ve Always Been? by Ihavenolifefr

Summary
Achilles was never supposed to know he was the son of Zeus. And Patroclus was never supposed to matter at all.
They met at a quiet boarding school upstate, two boys with nothing in common except a shared room, at first.
Neither of them knew the truth about who they were… until someone showed up on a field trip and monsters followed. Greek myths started feeling a little too real.
A prophecy about a child of the Big Three hung over their heads, one who could shift the balance of the gods. Zeus was never meant to have Achilles as a son. And yet, there Achilles was.
The prophecy spoke of him.
But fate had plans for Patroclus too.(A Song of Achilles AU heavily inspired by Percy Jackson, told from Patroclus’s point of view!)
